Chapter 173: Exposed (Part 2)
The invitation that Princess Rong Xin sent had indicated the afternoon on the next day Luo Xue Yan instructed Shen Xin to prepare a nu to the Princess residence because Princess Rong Xin had help Shen Miao a nuratitude to Princess Rong Xin
In order to prevent any accidents during the journey, Shen Qiu had arranged a nu Despite these, Shen Miao did not have any relaxed feeling during the journey When Jing Zhe and Gu Yu, ere beside her, saw it and thought that Shen Miao orried that the journey was not safe and consoled her for a long time
In the carriage, Shen Miao kept pondering how she should respond to Princess Rong Xin's words If Princess Rong Xin asked about Xie Jing Xing then hoould she go about dispelling the other party's suspicion? Princess Rong Xin was a very cautious person and once a doubtful thought formed, it would be very difficult to annihilate it
SHen Miao felt a terrible headache
Jing Zhe s that is so serious? This servant had not seen Young Lady like this for a long time already”
Shen Miao was slightly stunned and her heart was soasted It was correct Ever since she was reborn, the route that she alking on was exceptionally smooth as she relied on information of her previous life's path Even it wasLuo Xue Yan, Shen Xin and Shen Qiu, it was not particularly difficult to deal with As for other people, she would only be interested one's interest, just like Liu Ying and Pei Lang Hoould she got to do with other people's business? But now she was cracking her head to think of an excuse for Xie Jing Xing but as the relationshi+p between Xie Jing Xing and her that she would make an all-out effort?
Shen Miao started to be sory with herself and she also knew that she had a stubborn personality and would bash one's head against a brick wall A voice in her heart said that these troubles were caused by Xie Jing Xing and he should be the one resolving it The other voice however could not bear for Xie Jing Xing to handle this tricky matter alone
After all to let Xie Jing Xing reappear in front of Princess Rong Xin with an identity of Prince Rui of Great Liang, no , it was just too cruel
Unknowingly, when Shen Miao had not thought of an appropriate countere had reached the entrance doors of the Princess residence The servants of the Princess residence had so her respectfully Shen Miao instructed Mo Qing and the rest to re Xin to the storerooht Shen Miao in
She brought her directly into Princess Rong Xin's room
Even though Princess Rong Xin's figure was not commonly seen in court and she was normally low-key, but the Princess residence was spacious and grand Even since her FuMa (Princess's husband) passed on, Princess Rong Xin lived as aand was not very concern about these mere worldly possessions Her room's theme was simple and clean and when one entered, there was a sense of coldness
Princess Rong Xin was drinking some sweet soup that was sent from the kitchens and when she saw that Shen Miao had arrived, she instructed the servants to bring a bowl for Shen Miao She sood snacks and sweet soup One does not know if you are used to eating it or not but BenGong felt that it is better than the Palace's Give it a taste”
Shen Miao thanked Princess Rong Xin and picked up the bowl to have a taste She did not like sweet food particularly and because of Princess Rong Xin's face, it was not good to refuse it While eating, she was observing Princess Rong Xin's facial expression
Princess Rong Xin looked much better than that encounter she had in the Plaace Her face was rosier and her mood was not bad as there was a smile on her face Shen Miao said, “Princess looked much better”
“The medical hall had recently happened to receive a rare medicinal herb and the kitchens would si to drink It would be difficult for BenGong not to get better” Princess Rong Xin sighed, “It is really lucky Previously one thought that it was already not easy to search for this medicinal herb and did not expect that one actually encounter it at this ti” There was a bit of a surprise in her tone of voice
Shen Miao followed Princess Rong Xin's topic but her heart felt a little weird Princess Rong Xing was not so, it would be speaking of one's view on interesting matters thus there was no need to specifically et the deeperof her words
She had initially thought that Princess Rong Xin would be asking about Xie Jing Xing'sXin would not evenabout it thus she also did not intend to ed to Shen Miao's e that Emperor Wen Hui had suppressed a few days back
“Imperial Older Brother had been obsessed with it before and seehter-in-law that even BenGong felt that it was not appropriate However after you left on that day, BenGong personally went to Imperial Older Brother to plea for leniency and hope that he would disree to it Afterwards it was all thanks to Prince Rui's lucky influence” She looked at Shen Miao with a sht that General Shen had inquired about the reason and told you?”
Shen Miao nodded her head and she started to be on guard
“Even though these words were so also do not wish to see Great Liang having a Qi But one had to thank Prince Rui as if he hadn't said those words, Ie his e would not be suppressed down like this”
Shen Miao remained quiet as one would make more mistakes if one were to speak noever she did not expect that Princess Rong Xin would suddenly take her hand and spoke with a s saw that the relationshi+p between you and Prince Rui of Great Liang was not shallow and BenGong is after all much older than you and have eatenrice, and it is the sa at people Prince Rui has a special identity and BenGong sees that you are still young and inevitably be deceived but one did not expect that he was one of loyally and spoke up at this criticalthat if this was said on purpose then it was somewhat constrained”
Princess Rong Xin did not have such an attitude on Prince Rui previously Because the gap between how she was forreat, Shen Miao became very cautious but there was no trace of flusteredness on her face as she said with a gentle s people and this official's daughter is just a rass, naturally one is incoant to think that Prince Rui would speak for this official's daughter” These words was diplo the intimate relationshi+p with Prince Rui
“BenGong know that you are shy” Princess Rong Xin was particularly eccentric today, “BenGong would not tell others”
Shen Miao wanted to speak but Princess Rong Xin changed the topic at a turn of her head
Princess Rong Xin was particularly exhilarated today and kept on talking to Shen Mao for a long tiht that Princess Rong Xin would continue to ask but Princess Rong Xin changed topic and asked about the youths that Luo Xue helped to pick for Shen Miao
Froly did not want to end the day's chat and send Shen Miao back Shen Miao was so Xin's intention
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu however wanted Shen Miao to return earily as the roads were not easy to travel on at night as one would not be able to see the road that the horse carriage was travelling on But this was the Princess residence and the Princess and Shen Miao did not say anything about it so how could they, two servants, say anything?
When the last pot of tea was finished, Princess Rong Xin got up and Jing Zhe and Gu Yu gave a slight sigh in their heart as they thought that Princess Rong Xin had a rare interest today and finally they would be able to return Who knew that Princess Rong Xin pulled Shen Miao's hands over amiably and smiled, “Accompany me around the courtyard”
Jing Zhe's and Gu Yu'sXin had lived here for so many years and would have walked around her own courtyard every day, without any rhyuest, take a walk around the courtyard? Moreover it was currently pitch dark and it was very cold outside, so why the need to take a walk around the courtyard? Wasn't one afraid of catching a cold? Was it that the Princesses of Imperial families were all so eccentric?
Shen Miao however understood Princess Rong Xin obviously had other things in mid and today's invitation to Shen Miao to come over to the Princess residence would definitely not only to let Shen Miao chat with her Princess Rong Xin definitely had her own plans
But Shen Miao had no ways to reject it
She said, “Alright”
Out of Jing Zhe's and Gu Yu's expectation, the 'courtyard' that Princess Rong Xin brought Shen Miao to was a side courtyard There was no lantern at the doors and one could not see clearly ords were on the plaque
Princess Rong Xin pulled Shen Miao's hands as she stepped into the roo Yuan”
Shen Miao heart thu Xin would say next
Sure enough when Princess Rong Xin entered the room, she picked up the little toys on the shelf in re stayed”
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu ere following behind felt that the words was a little strange This here the Little Marquis of the Xie family stayed
“Jing Xing did not have apitied that he was so young and was angry with the restless side family of the Marquis of Lin An that caused a fire in the inner courtyard Yu Qing's life was bitter and at the end had a reputation of being a jealous wife However at that ti exploited a loophole and one could not use the I forth infary and second fearful that Mada back to the Princess residence to raise”
“Jing Xing is very naughty fro did not have any son and thought that it would be good to have Jing Xing raised by ”
When Princess Rong Xin was speaking about these things, she was still sighing With her description, Shen Miao could al about Shen Miao was that her parents were safe and sound and doted on her a lot Even though due to the Second and Third household of the Shen faation, there were some alienation, it could still be re was born, he did not have a mother
In another words, when he was born, in the false identity in Ming Qi, he played the role of a pitiful and unfavourable role
“Jing Xing was raise at BenGong's very well and the Marquis of Lin An cah Ie it However later on Mada back” Princess Rong Xin turned around and looked at Shen Miao, “Do you knohy?”
Shen Miao thought of it for a , “Because the Little Marquis was the Di son of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An and he should be inheriting the residence of the Marquis of Lin An If the Little Marquis continued to stay in the Princess residence, Mada and the two Shu sons of the Xie family would exploited it and in the future the position of the Marquis of Lin An will also fall in the hands of the two brothers”
Princess Rong Xing s knew that you are one who could see things thoroughly When I was at your age, one would not have think of that”
Shen Miao s feiven birth would not plan for a child, ave birth to two child thus if it was Wan Yu and Fu Ming, she would also let Wan Yu and Fu Ming return It was originally her own children things so hoould one let others take it?
“Although Jing Xing returned, his relationshi+p with BenGong still reood It was always said that blood is thicker than water, so BenGong was afraid that he would get along with the Marquis of Lin An and with vile characters provoking, he would instead be so was surprisingly delighted was that his relations with the Marquis of Lin An was not been so good No matter hoell the Marquis of Lin An treated hiht that he and the Marquis of Lin An did not look like a pair of Father and Son so hoould there be an instance of blood being thicker than water?”
Shen Miao's heart was hoisted up as the
Princess Rong Xin picked up a small mirror on the shelf and said, “Actually not only does he not look like a Father and Son with the Marquis of Lin An, he does not rese The Marquis of Lin An was a military man but had some indecisiveness thus in some matters he would be muddled else he would not be sche was a foolish one as her heart went out fully to that man but at the end she even lost her life and allowed her child to suffer Xie Jing's character was however different from the both of them”
“Jing Xing had a very stubborn temperament but he was very decisive in his actions Once he obtained a treasured sword and it was regarded highly by his good friend The good friend did not say anything but he saw it Afterwards he said that he took to fancy that friend's e”
“BenGong asked him why did he lie when he obviously didn't like thethat it was because he did not like that treasured sword”
“He see He would not take a glance htly on things he wanted fro in his hands He would always smile and would be liked by females but had never expressed any special indication to any female He is actually more indifferent than anyone else”
Princess Rong Xin stared at Shen Miao and for awere similar in some aspects It was especially so when they stare sharply at soh one's souls This kind of coed froain
She then opened herthat perhaps in his eyes the Marquis of Lin An was a thing that he did not need so fro he did not treat the Marquis of Lin An affectionately BenGong had always thought that BenGong was the person that he would hang on tightly onto but fro was also a person he did not need, correct?”
This word 'correct' was directed to Shen Miao to answer
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had already been pulled out by Princess Rong Xin's personal fe GuGu and there was currently no one in the roo, “The Little Marquis places the Princess in his heart”
“Shen Miao, BenGong knows that you are exceptionally intelligent and is good at appraising others'Xin coldly laughed, “If it was truly placing BenGong in the heart then ould one deceive with the news of the fake death? Hoould one just watch on as BenGong suffers in pain and sleepless night fro was planned in the beginning but still had to deceive for BenGong's trust and sincere heart Obviously one is right in front but refuse to recognize and still use halfhearted excuses Shen Miao, you tell BenGong if this is called placing BenGong in one's heart?”
